"The Glory Door" Is the story of two brothers, Fergus and Duncan McNabb from the Highlands of Scotland, who were conscripted by the British Army to fight in the Battle of New Orleans, during the war of 1812. In their very first battle, they were separated and never saw each other again for twenty years. This book is the story of their search to find each other and the humorous, unexpected, romantic and poignant sub plots that pop up along the way. A search that will escort the reader across clans, cultures, countries and continents to their highest mountaintops. As you might expect, any search that is motivated by love is fraught with the unexpected. This search is no exception and moves in and out of historical events and across the line of real, and the spiritual to the very edge of disaster. That's when God steps in and sends His angel to escort them through it all. A four legged angel who, by the folks who actually saw her, named "Glory." An Angel of many talents. When it is all over and the brothers reunited, one might think back on Leolla and Furball and Wings of Ivy and Hog Breath Hanratty and Pastor Mose and Malaki Messer and wonder. "Did it really happen that way?" Only Glory knows.

In this exhiliarting sequel to Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Hellhole, the stakes on planet Hallholme have been raised to new heights. After declaring his independence from the corrupt Constellation, rebel General Adolphus knows the crackdown is coming. Now he needs to pull together the struggling Hellhole colony, the ever-expanding shadow-Xayan settlement, and his connections with the other Deep Zone worlds. Even then, he doubts his desperate measures will be enough. Diadem Michella Duchenet has collected a huge space fleet led by Commodore Escobar Hallholme, son of the hero who originally defeated Adolphus. They expect resistance from the General's rebels, but who could possibly stand up to such a mighty fleet? Adolphus knows he's running out of time, but he still has some hope—the shadow-Xayans have banded together to defend their sacred planet with "telemancy," but can they discover new powers to protect all the stored alien lives on the already devastated world? And when all hope seems lost, the awakened Xayans reveal information hidden even from their own followers—the existence of a bigger threat that makes even the Constellation fleet seem insignificant. Disaster has come for General Adolphus and Hellhole...and this time there is no escape.

A harrowing and incisive “high-quality battle history” from one of the world’s finest military historians (Booklist). The Allied attack of Normandy beach and its resultant bloodbath have been immortalized in film and literature, but the US campaign on the beaches of Western Italy reigns as perhaps the deadliest battle of World War II’s western theater. In January 1944, about six months before D-Day, an Allied force of thirty-six thousand soldiers launched one of the first attacks on continental Europe at Anzio, a small coastal city thirty miles south of Rome. The assault was conceived as the first step toward an eventual siege of the Italian capital. But the advance stalled and Anzio beach became a death trap. After five months of brutal fighting and monumental casualties on both sides, the Allies finally cracked the German line and marched into Rome on June 5, the day before D-Day. Richly detailed and fueled by extensive archival research of newspapers, letters, and diaries—as well as scores of original interviews with surviving soldiers on both sides of the trenches—Anzio is a “relentlessly fascinating story with plenty of asides about individuals’ experiences” (Publishers Weekly). “Masterly . . . A heartbreaking, beautifully told story of wasted sacrifice.” —The Washington Post
